WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump was taken out of the White House briefing room Monday evening.

He reappeared moments after a member of his security detail walked on stage during his press briefing and escorted him out.

he told reporters that law enforcement had shot someone outside the White House.

"There was a shooting, law enforcement shot someone, seems to be someone, and the suspect is on the way to the hospital," Trump said.

"It's unfortunate that this is the world but the world has always been a dangerous place. It's not something that's unique," he added. — Agencies
